Simone's Thoughts - Not a big fan of American Idol. but I am a big fan of $5,000. This brings up a good point about sweepstakes. Sometimes the "lesser" prizes are the ones you really want. I hope at some point in the future sponsors and administrators of these sweeps will start letting you choose which prizes you want to be in the drawing for at registration. Are you listening ePrize?

The link I have associated w/ this sweep, is for a free code. Once you get the email, follow that link and enter the code.

Simone's Thoughts - So its a week of instants. This one ends on Saturday, so get on it! Quite a few prizes to be won and you don't even have to register (unless you win). I won a netbook last year and it is very convenient, although no replacement for a laptop if you require a lot from your browser or run multiple programs at once. Still worth it for everyday use and convenience.

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Nissan 370Z Sweep

Prize(s)- 2010 Nissan 370Z; also 15 first prizes of set of four Yokohama tires

End Date - June 28, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person/ email

Simone's Thoughts - I love this car. Not a big fan of sweeps where you have to take possession of a car at some other location than your home town, but at least the trip is included. According to the offical rules of this one you can choose to take possession at a dealership near your home, but unsure whether trip is still included if you choose this option. Either way, more convenient. This would be heartbreaking to sell for the much more family friendly minivan we need.

Swimsuit season

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Secret Gym Membership Sweep

Prize(s) - One year gym membership (1 given away weekly)

End Date - April 25, 2010gym

Entry Frequency - daily per person/ email

Simone's Thoughts - We went out on the lake this weekend for the first time this year and I was faced with the impending reality that swimsuit season is upon us. Much to my dismay, I did not magically acquire the body of Brittany Daniels during the winter. Sigh. I hate having to work for what I want. If only I could afford the personal trainer, personal chef, AND be ok w/ spending less time w/ my kid so that I could look bangin. But, thats not my life. So, I will be content w/ entering to win this sweep and maybe get a gym membership.

End Date - April 23, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person

Simone's Thoughts - While I don't quite feel comfortable taking Max to Africa as he isn't quite old enough, this would be an awesome trip. Not to mention, we just can't take another trip abroad this year.
